[Verse 1]
You laugh and the world feels lighter,
One look and the clouds roll away,
I hide all the words I can't say,
'Cause I'm scared you might turn away.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat pulls me closer,
Every moment feels so right,
But if I speak, will I lose you tonight?

[Chorus]
You're closer than a dream,
Closer than the stars above,
Right here with me,
But just out of reach of love.
I’m holding my breath,
Afraid to let you see—
You're closer than a dream to me.

[Verse 2]
Your hand brushes mine and I'm reeling,
I smile but I’m falling inside,
If I could just tell you the truth,
Would you still stay by my side?

[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat pulls me closer,
Every whisper sounds like fate,
But one wrong word, and it's too much to break.

[Chorus]
You're closer than a dream,
Closer than the stars above,
Right here with me,
But just out of reach of love.
I’m holding my breath,
Afraid to let you see—
You're closer than a dream to me.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll know,
How much you already mean,
Till then, I’ll just keep you...
Closer than a dream.

[Final Chorus]
(You're) closer than a dream...
Closer than a dream...
To me.

Closer Than a Dream


I saw you standing in the glow of the sky
But words got tangled when we locked our eyes
You sparked a flame that I tried to hide
I never dared
I just let it slide


You’re the song I hum when I'm alone
A melody that's carved into my bones
Every heartbeat whispers your name with ease
Your love's a secret hidden in the breeze


I trace your shadow in the quiet night
Your laugh still haunts me in the pale moonlight
You don’t know the world I’ve built for you
It's a castle of dreams you never knew


You’re the song I hum when I'm alone
A melody that's carved into my bones
Every heartbeat whispers your name with ease
Your love's a secret hidden in the breeze


Someday the wind might tell what I feel
Let my silence break and my truth reveal
I’d hold your hand and refuse to let go
A love so certain you'd always know


You’re the song I hum when I'm alone
A melody that's carved into my bones
Every heartbeat whispers your name with ease
Your love's a secret hidden in the breeze

Hidden in the Breeze


We talk about forever like it's easy,
You laugh and all my fears just fade away,
But I'm standing at the edge of something deeper,
And I don't know the words to make you stay.


I hide it every time you look at me,
Afraid of losing what we’re meant to be...


If you only knew the way I’m falling,
If you only felt the way I do,
Every time you smile, it's like I'm dreaming,
But I keep it locked inside so I don't lose you,
If you only knew...
If you only knew...

I see you chasing dreams, and I'm just cheering,
Your happiness is all I wish for you,
But somewhere in the spaces left unspoken,
I wonder if you’re hiding feelings too...


I’m scared the truth would tear us both apart,
But still you hold the pieces of my heart...


If you only knew the way I’m falling,
If you only felt the way I do,
Every time you smile, it's like I'm dreaming,
But I keep it locked inside so I don't lose you,
If you only knew...
If you only knew...


Maybe someday you'll see it in my eyes,
Maybe someday you'll hear it in my sighs,
But until then, I’ll be your silent light...
Standing by...


If you only knew the way I’m falling,
If you only felt the way I do,
I would give it all, risk all the breaking,
Just to be the one who's right beside you,
If you only knew...
If you only knew...

(If you only knew...)
(If you only knew...)
Mmm...

If You Only Knew


I watched you walk away
Fading from my sight
Words I should've spoken
Locked up tight
Now the echoes of your name
Haunt my night
I realized too late
You were my light


Too late to hold on
Too late to stay
Regret's the only song I play
Every tear I didn't see fall from your eyes
Is now the reason my heart cries


Your laughter lingers
Like a ghost in the air
I replay every moment
Of nights we shared
Too blind to see
The weight you carried there
Now I stand alone
With whispers of despair

Too late to hold on
Too late to stay
Regret's the only song I play
Every tear I didn't see fall from your eyes
Is now the reason my heart cries


I’d trade forever
Just to turn back time
Undo the silence
Erase those crimes
To hold your hand and say you'd never leave
But now I'm lost in this heart that grieves


Too late to hold on
Too late to stay
Regret's the only song I play
Every tear I didn't see fall from your eyes
Is now the reason my heart cries

Watching You Walk Away

[Verse 1]
You stood in silence, waiting for me
But I was lost in what I failed to see
A thousand chances slipped like sand
I never reached out, never took your hand

[Chorus]
Now the words I never said
Echo loud inside my head
You were fading while I stayed still
Too proud to bend, too numb to feel
And now the space you used to fill
Is just a quiet, aching hill

[Verse 2]
I see your shadow in morning light
In dreams, you’re always out of sight
I should’ve fought, I should’ve known
You were breaking all alone

[Chorus]
Now the words I never said
Echo loud inside my head
You were fading while I stayed still
Too proud to bend, too numb to feel
And now the space you used to fill
Is just a quiet, aching hill

[Bridge]
If I could go back, I'd fall to my knees
Trade every breath for one last plea
To tell you you were all I needed
But love unspoken goes unheeded

[Final Chorus]
Now the words I never said
Are the tears I cry instead
Every heartbeat comes too late
I lost you at the closing gate
The silence I gave, the words I withheld
Are the weight of the life I never held


The Words I Never Said

[Verse 1]
The morning light feels colder now
The air is still, I don’t know how
This quiet used to feel like peace
But now it's just a missing piece

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember how you'd lean and smile
Your voice would linger for a while
Now the room forgets your name
And I’m the only one who came

[Chorus]
Empty spaces fill our home
Where your laughter used to roam
I set two plates down today
Still can't help but wait
Empty corners, silent rooms
Where your presence used to bloom
I set two chairs out again
Force of habit, not pretend

[Verse 2]
Your coat still hangs behind the door
I haven’t touched the shoes you wore
I’m not ready, not just yet
To clean the things you might forget

[Pre-Chorus]
The table feels too wide to face
With echoes filling every space
Each sunrise feels a little less
Like something time could ever fix

[Chorus]
Empty spaces fill our home
Where your laughter used to roam
I set two plates down today
Still can't help but wait
Empty corners, silent rooms
Where your presence used to bloom
I set two chairs out again
Force of habit, not pretend

[Bridge]
Sometimes I hear the lock turn slow
A quiet step, a breath I know
Like you were never gone at all
But silence proves the final call

[Breakdown]
Two plates
Two chairs
One heart
Still there

[Chorus – Soft]
Empty spaces fill our home
Where your laughter used to roam
I set two plates down today
Still can't help but wait

Empty Spaces

[Verse 1]
I walk these streets where we once stood
Still chasing echoes through the wood
Your name still clings to every breeze
But you're gone, like fallen leaves

[Pre-Chorus]
They say to let the silence mend
But I would break to see you again

[Chorus]
Give me one last glimpse of your face
Just a second in that sacred place
Where time stands still and hearts don't break
Where I can hold you for heaven’s sake
I won’t ask for more, I won’t pretend
Just one last glimpse… before the end

[Verse 2]
Your shadow lives in morning light
I dream of you most every night
And though the world moves on with grace
I still search each crowd for your face

[Pre-Chorus]
They say love fades, but they don’t see
What just one moment would mean to me

[Chorus]
Give me one last glimpse of your face
Just a second in that sacred place
Where time stands still and hearts don't break
Where I can hold you for heaven’s sake
I won’t ask for more, I won’t pretend
Just one last glimpse… before the end

[Bridge]
Not forever, not a lifetime
Just a heartbeat to call you mine
A chance to say the words unsaid
Before goodbye is all I get

[Final Chorus]
Give me one last glimpse of your face
One more breath, one soft embrace
Let my eyes remember you
Before I wake and lose you too
I’ll carry peace if I just defend
One last glimpse… before the end

[Outro]
One last glimpse… that’s all I’d need
To finally set this heart free

One Last Glimpse

[Verse 1]
I let the silence win again
Chose pride instead of reaching out
You stood there holding every truth
While I drowned in my doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that time was on my side
I thought you'd always stay
But love will vanish in a blink
When you're the one who walks away

[Chorus]
Now I see the price I paid
For every word I didn’t say
I gave you pain when you gave grace
Now I'm left chasing your face
I lost the best I ever knew
In the name of being brave
But now I break for what I gave away

[Verse 2]
I wore my fears like armor strong
Built walls you tried to break
You begged for just a little more
While I let your heart ache

[Pre-Chorus]
And now this house just echoes wrong
Your laughter's gone from here
All I have are empty rooms
And memories I didn’t hear

[Chorus]
Now I see the price I paid
For every word I didn’t say
I gave you pain when you gave grace
Now I'm left chasing your face
I lost the best I ever knew
In the name of being brave
But now I break for what I gave away

[Bridge]
I thought that love meant standing tall
But maybe love means learning how to fall

[Final Chorus]
Now I see the price I paid
For letting both our hearts decay
You gave your all, I turned away
And now it’s me who begs to stay
I lost the best I ever knew
For fear of showing I was afraid
And now I break... for what I gave away

What I Gave Away

[Verse 1]
I still remember the way you said goodbye
Like it was just a pause, not the end of time
But days turned to silence, and nights to rain
I’m still calling out your name

[Pre-Chorus]
They say the heart forgets with time
But mine is frozen in that line
The one you crossed when you let go
And I was left alone

[Chorus]
If just for a moment, I could hold you near
Erase the distance, erase the fear
If I could touch you like before
I’d never ask for anything more
Just give me a second to feel you again
If just for a moment… before the end

[Verse 2]
I walk the roads we used to roam
But every place feels less like home
The wind still carries your perfume
But you’re a ghost in every room

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the pictures in their frames
Still whisper low your lovely name
But all the stars have dimmed above
Since I lost your love

[Chorus]
If just for a moment, I could hold you near
Erase the distance, erase the fear
If I could touch you like before
I’d never ask for anything more
Just give me a second to feel you again
If just for a moment… before the end

[Bridge]
I don’t need forever
Just one breath, one glance
One last chance
To say… you were everything

[Final Chorus]
If just for a moment, I'd turn back time
To hear your voice say you were mine
I'd give this lifetime just to pretend
That love like ours won’t have to end
So give me a second to feel you again
If just for a moment… like it was then

[Outro]
If just for a moment…
I'd live it again


Heart  - Frozen in Time

[Verse 1]
You laughed at something dumb I said
And leaned your head against my chest
We sat there in that quiet space
Where I almost let the truth escape

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You called me your safe place again
I nodded like I always do
But in the silence of that smile
I almost said “I love you”

[Chorus]
But I never say what I really mean
Hide it all behind the in-between
You’re everything I’ve wished for
But I’d rather stay unseen
Than say the words that change us
And lose what we’ve been
So I never say what I really mean

[Verse 2]
You ask me if I’ve met someone
I fake a laugh and change the subject
You don’t see the way I look at you
When your heart’s not feeling broken

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve practiced what I’d say so long
But my courage always fades
So I bury every heartbeat
And smile through all the ache

[Chorus]
'Cause I never say what I really mean
Hide it all behind the in-between
You’re everything I’ve wished for
But I’d rather stay unseen
Than say the words that change us
And lose what we’ve been
So I never say what I really mean

[Bridge]
Maybe someday, you’ll look my way
And see what I’ve been hiding
But till that day, I’ll play it safe
And keep denying...

[Final Chorus]
That I never say what I really mean
Hide behind what might’ve been
You’re everything I’ve dreamed of
But I’d rather not begin
If starting means I lose you
And everything we’ve been
So I never say what I really mean

Almost Told You

[Verse 1]
Late-night calls and secret laughs
We talk like we’ve got forever
You say I know you better than the rest
But not the part I’m hiding clever

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time you say my name
It sounds like a maybe, but I don’t claim
'Cause if I say too much, you might walk away
So I keep the truth at bay

[Chorus]
If you only knew what’s in my heart
How I fall harder with every start
Every time you say “you mean the world to me”
I smile, pretend I’m fine
But you’re everything quietly
If you only knew—if you only knew me

[Verse 2]
You talk about someone you might like
And I rehearse my smile again
I cheer you on while I fall apart
Still playing the part of a friend

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish I could turn back time
To a moment where maybe the stars aligned
But I sit in silence, scared of the cost
Of telling you what I’ve lost

[Chorus]
If you only knew what’s in my heart
How I fall harder with every start
Every time you say “you mean the world to me”
I smile, pretend I’m fine
But you’re everything quietly
If you only knew—if you only knew me

[Bridge]
I’ve written songs I’ll never share
Poems burned in midnight air
If you ever feel the same, don’t be afraid
I’ll still be there

[Final Chorus]
If you only knew what’s in my heart
How I’ve loved you right from the start
Every word I didn’t speak still rings true
And I’d give the world just to tell you
If you only knew… if you only knew

Closer Than a Dream
